Copper-peptide signalling
Copper-binding peptides studied in skin, wound, and collagen biology.
Copper-binding peptides such as GHK-Cu are studied for roles in wound healing, collagen remodelling, and skin appearance, frequently in topical contexts. Mechanistic proposals involve modulation of remodelling enzymes and growth factors.

FAQ
What does copper-peptide signalling do?
Copper-binding peptides such as GHK-Cu are studied for roles in wound healing, collagen remodelling, and skin appearance, frequently in topical contexts. Mechanistic proposals involve modulation of remodelling enzymes and growth factors.
Which peptides act through copper-peptide signalling?
GHK CU. They share this pathway but differ in evidence, approval, and safety.
Does this mechanism prove a peptide works?
No. Mechanistic plausibility is not proof of clinical benefit — a plausible pathway is a reason to study a compound, not evidence that it works in humans.
Mechanistic plausibility is not proof of clinical benefit. Research reference only — not medical advice.
